First, your conclusion that Guiliani "hedged" is incorrect. Giuliani was raised Catholic and Catholicism goes by Sacred Scripture plus Sacred Tradition (which includes the traditions passed on by the Fathers of the Church, some of whom knew the Apostles, all the way back to the Upper Room and Jesus). Catholics believe that Jesus paid for our redemption on the Cross but our salvation is not determined until we die. Huckabee is Baptist and like many Protestants goes by Sola Scriptura (scripture only) a philosophy which dates back to the 16th century. They believe that once saved always saved, once forgiven always forgiven, past, present, and future. Catholics believe that Sola Scriptura is but a skeleton of Christian belief whereas Catholicism is complete and most important includes the Body and Blood of Christ (the Holy Eucharist). Romney is Mormon and neither of the above consider that faith to be truely Christian. In addition to the 17th century King James Version of the Bible (that many Protestants use) they believe in the 19th century the Book of Mormon by Joseph Smith and Romney failed to clarify this most important point. The Book of Mormon is not accepted by any other Christian faith. And sadly of the three, only Catholics openly revere the Blessed Virgin.
